Rebirth: Super Banking System Chapter 2413 - 2253: Xin’an
Previously on Rebirth: Super Banking System...
Afternoon.
Four o’clock.
Having explored sufficiently, the group departed contentedly, opting not to return home but to head by vehicle to their subsequent stop.
--- Xin’an Number.
From its title alone.
You can tell it’s no ordinary structure. Actually, this site debuted to visitors just at the beginning of the prior month and has swiftly turned into a fresh icon of Xin’an City.
It’s broadly acknowledged.
Meanwhile.
It serves as a fresh hotspot for visitors.
...
Before long.
The vehicle reached the northern section of the New District. Via a broad paved highway squeezed between a pair of hills, the enormous form stretching over the gorge appeared ahead.
"So massive!"
"So impressive."
"Lavish!"
"..."
First-time viewers couldn’t help but feel stunned, since its shape mimics a colossal starship, spanning twelve hundred meters in length.
Three hundred meters across.
Roughly ten levels tall.
The surface.
Appears constructed wholly from steel. Indeed, it is, given the ample budget; more than ten billion went into creating this marvel.
Utterly lavish.
The intent.
Centered on turning it into a dining and lodging venue.
By the way.
It doubles as a Science and Technology Museum too. Right after its reveal, it drew massive interest worldwide, seeming almost capable of actual flight.
"What a daring concept. Were it a genuine starship, it’d be an intimidating force," Zheng Lin’s gaze gleamed while observing this wonder.
The outer shell.
Lacks any sleek lines.
Rather.
It conveys a swollen, powerful vibe, akin to a massive creature poised for the chase, featuring numerous armament fixtures, though it stays grounded and the arms remain inactive.
All other aspects feel remarkably lifelike.
This starship design rings a bell for all, as it featured in a film.
"Civilization"
This key franchise from the Comet Group.
Nowadays.
It’s hailed worldwide as a classic.
This particular one.
Comes from "Civilization 2," the vessel of an extraterrestrial society that captured viewers’ hearts upon debut, and what stands before us is a full-scale copy.
Hence.
Even just the "Civilization" enthusiasts number in the millions, flocking to view it. One could say this starship pulls in endless travelers while doubling as promo for "Civilization."
Hitting two targets with a single move.
So.
Back then.
The Comet Group waived any fees for the design rights.
Figuring it out.
Proved a smart bargain.
...
Stepping inside.
It avoids gaudiness yet closely matches movie depictions, offering high realism that draws visitors in, filled with fresh thrills.
Dining areas.
Staying options.
Entertainment spots.
Movie theaters.
...
Such amenities are thoroughly provided, including various interactive exhibits that demand more than a single day to cover, leaving Chai Ren somewhat regretful.
Far too vast.
Even with the entire household, full enjoyment proves impossible, requiring a future revisit.
A quick scan.
The party gathered near a vast transparent pane, enjoying tea and conversation, as a stunning cosmic vista unfolded beyond, far superior to typical screen simulations.
At this spot.
Employing the "Time" cosmos projector, it creates a vivid 3D spectacle without visible seams, each viewpoint revealing unique sights.
Truly astonishing.
"It’d be ridiculous if this place weren’t a massive hit," Zheng Lin commended once more.
"Mm."
"I wish our homeland had something similar," Zhan Xi remarked, captivated by the cosmic beauty outside, where worlds occasionally drifted past.
Highly engaging.
At these words.
Chai Ren smiled lightly and shook his head.
"No chance."
"The outside can be copied, and constructing it from solid materials would slash expenses, but achieving this realism costs way too much, exceeding ten billion."
"On this occasion."
"Owing to sky-high expenses, the Comet Group avoided self-funding. Post-initial build, a follow-up loses appeal, rendering it unviable."
"Mm."
Zheng Lin agreed with a nod.
Absolutely.
Excessively pricey.
Billions.
Solely for this creation, only those with excess wealth would pursue it. The Comet Group might forfeit a full year’s earnings to erect such an extravagance.
Overly opulent.
That said.
Observing others pour funds into elevating their reputation brought a sense of pleasure, and he suspected it tied into Myanmar’s tourism resurgence strategy.
Funds aplenty.
...
Nightfall.
The entire starship shell emitted a soft luminescence, its electro-glow layer imparting an eerie allure after dark. From a close hilltop.
The summit.
Observation deck.
Countless folks stood entranced, a common notion surfacing: "This seems truly flight-ready." The longer the gaze, the greater the fascination.
Right then.
Chai Ren and his companions were heading homeward, as Xin’an City’s light display ignited afar. Its motif was identifiable even from distance.
--- Lava World.
Yet.
Rather than rushing to view it, they first went back to the residence for dinner.
...
After arriving.
"That starship’s construction is flawless; you absolutely must visit it."
Chai Ren started promoting it.
In reply.
Tang Qing merely grinned and responded offhandedly, "Alright, I’ll check it out sometime." Naturally, he had greenlit this venture—primarily to draw crowds.
Additionally.
To boost "Civilization."
Furthermore.
To circulate Asia Dollars, achieving three gains at once. Prior to launch, he’d inspected it personally and felt pleased, particularly with his contribution.
Starship.
It stemmed from an idea pondered for ages.
Only.
R&D challenges loomed large; luckily, with support, core tech hurdles like anti-gravity systems and defense fields got resolved.
Earlier.
Such tech lay beyond his grasp.
However.
Months back.
Following the overtake of Huaxia Currency.
And access elevation.
These innovations became available: quantum links, fluid alloys, plus various advanced goods that once arrived complete but without blueprints.
Now ripe for large-scale output.
Surely.
Claiming interstellar travel remains hasty—not ignoring other factors, current drive methods alone demand ages to hit Mars.
Exiting the Solar System?
Uh!
Way off.
Light-speed journey from Sol to Neptune spans hours, taking years at minimum; unless deranged, who’d bother?
Utterly pointless!
Thus.
Tech in hand, Tang Qing views it presently as mere amusement, harboring no plans for practical use, since it offers little beyond light entertainment.
Nevertheless.
Gaining tech access excites with vast usage prospects, and he’s testing a fun initiative involving flyers.
To deliver Teleportation Nodes to extraterrestrial worlds.
Moon.
Mars.
Mercury.
Three missions launched, enabling Moon jumps now, whereas for Mercury and Mars... the vessels remain en route.
Inevitable.
Distances immense.
Yet proximity ensures arrival within a month tops. As they travel, the craft keep shuttling minor loads to and fro.
So far.
No glitches reported, and beaming lifeforms like roaches or rodents proceeds smoothly.
What’s the implication?
Ahead.
He’ll access any solar world instantly. Plus, with Nodes set, the Training Area craft can warp straight there.
No Earth liftoff required.
"..."
This development.
Even Tang Qing found the pace dizzying, though against the system’s flaws, it paled in comparison.
